You can get *new* ones from jc whipme for : around that price-I looked 'em up before I went the j-tube route (it's : always hot in Texas-well, ok, it's cold for maybe 3 days). They were $69 Having had nothing but bad experiences with J.C. Whitney, I have to suggest finding an alternate source. Admittedly, they're usually the cheapest option, but you get what you pay for. As one suggestion, Rocky Mountain Motor Works has new heater boxes for $104.49 each. I ordered two sets (four boxes) today, so that the interiors of both my busi will be A) warm, and B) CO free. Hopefully this means I won't be getting a headache within a few minutes of starting to drive any more. And yes, I realize that sometimes, the difference from $75 to $105 is more than is reasonable, no matter what the quality difference.... Dworkin
